McKenna pov I didn't want to leave my room, I was so ashamed of what happened between me and Alarik, Nyx, and Keran. I'd rather just shrivel up and die in my room. Unfortunately, that wasn't meant to be. Another fairy eater was spotted heading to us from the east. I cracked my knuckles and went to face my guest. Keran wasn't here but Nyx and Alarik were. I didn't even glance their way as I walked through the foyer. Adria frowned at me and I paused and turned to her. "Nothing happened between us Adria, please stop with your hateful glares," I growled and she pursed her lips as I continued outside. I waved my hands around the air wanting the creature destroyed and poof it was gone, I laughed and went back inside and went to the kitchen. I started a pot of coffee hoping I can still enjoy a cup. I watched as the others entered looking at me oddly, not knowing they could see my aura gravitating towards another. I just ignored them and waited for my coffee. When it was done brewing I pour

McKenna pov We arrived on a blinding white driveway in front of a chateau that looked converted into a castle. My breath curled around me in a white misty cloud. It was fucking freezing and I thought that coming from Montana. Nyx buried his hand in my fur coat and walked us up to the door. He knocked and shivered. "You poor thing," I grin looking at his red nose and cheeks. A young man answered and Nyx explained who we were and what we wanted. His name was Tomas and he led us to a sitting area. The room was very warm and I waved my fur coat away and relaxed on the large couch. I watched as a large man with hair as white as Nyx's entered the room. His eyes were golden and he eyed Nyx cautiously. "I'm Beowulf and you?" he grins looking at us both. "I'm Nyx, an elf, this is my mate McKenna," Nyx grins, shaking the large man's hand. Beowulf approached me and grins."You're absolutely stunning," he grins and kisses my hand. "My mother will join you both shortly," he smiles and leaves

McKenna several months later I was sore and having back pain and figured a nice walk would help. I walked through the enchanted forest with Anastasia by my side. Her legs were long and lean, she'd been walking several months now, and she'd grown quickly from her merfolk genes. I wanted to take her to her birth mother to see how adorable she was. Nyx was visiting with Keran and I was bored being cooped up in the house. So what if I was swollen with his child ugh, he was so overprotective. He could always find me by the wedding ring with the part of his soul embedded in it. I snuck out the minute he left and figured he'd be gone long enough for me to venture outdoors. I picked up the girl and walked as quickly as I could to the lakeside. I called for Layla and waited. She brought Maria, Anastasia's birth mother and she cried seeing how much the child had grown. We visited longer than we should have and I wrapped Anastasia and transported us back into the house appearing in the nursery.

McKenna pov 16 years later I looked in the mirror and can't believe I still look the same, much younger than the 48 years I once had been. My eyes were still a light golden color and stunning. Changing to a hybrid had done wonders in subtracting my aging. I grinned at Nyx, he was upset that he found an actual gray silver strand of hair. I rolled my eyes at the vain man. "It's only one tiny hair, love," I teased him and he frowned like it was a death sentence."Keran has more gray than you and you are older, that should make you happy," I grin and kiss his lips. He grumbled and shrugged. I decided to go to the unseelie court to visit Keran since Nyx has been acting oddly since his gray hair incident. I appeared before the king."Can we talk about something?" I ask him with a smile. He nods and takes me to his study. He sat behind his black desk and looked at me."Nyx found a gray silver hair, one mind you and is acting super weird about it," I mumbled, looking at Keran's many gray ha

Ryker, with silver eyes glowing, stands with his father Nyx and waves his hand copying his dad's hand movements. He's gritting his teeth and getting more frustrated with his magic. "I've been doing this for 24 years dad," he mumbles and whines, irritated. He just wanted to spend time with his best friend Quinn and get done with training."You're going to be the next generation of guardian Ryker and must learn the proper way of using your magic, it's just not for getting into a female's pants," Nys growls. Ryker smirks, recalling sinking his fangs in Quinn the night before, Quinn definitely wasn't female. Nyx eyes his son and can see he's distracted and throws a golden ball of energy toward his chest, it was close and Ryker cursed. "What the fuck dad," he growls and whips a golden strand at his dad. Nyx twirled out of its way and it missed him."Very good son," Nyx chuckles and pauses seeing his wife McKenna coming to watch. Her belly swollen with their second child, she grins and us
